[FoRMS] update

[Friends of Round Mountain School]

The next meeting of Friends of Round Mountain School will be on January 11th
at 11 a.m. at the old school/community center. I encourage everyone who even
thinks a little bit about the old building while driving past to come and
get involved. We need people to help us in our work to preserve the building
and to have events for the community. I will send out the agenda when it's
final. 

 

Travis County has committed to helping us make the parking lot and entrances
better. They have already started working on drainage and will do more when
they can work it in. The trailer that is parked on the property is there
until Friday and the owner will be finding another place to store it in the
future so that we can rope the area off again. 

 

Several of our members have been donating their time and money to help bring
the old building up to fire safety standards. We had the fire marshal from
Travis County ESD come out and do a walkthrough to help us understand what
we need to do. He gave us two smoke/CO2 detectors and the wonderful folks
from our local fire department installed them for us. We've brought the fire
extinguishers up to certification and some of our members have mounted them
on the walls as directed. We have cleared out space in front of the
electrical panel and are in the process of labeling the circuits. We've
cleared out the water heater closet and will be looking for a plumber to
help us figure out if it needs replumbed or replaced. We are also looking
for an electrician to help us with a couple of other issues that we've found
during this process. We've put proper address numbers where the fire marshal
required, on the sign out front. We've taken out the non-working big old AC
unit and made sure that the gas heater works well. We've gathered up
extension cords and won't be using them anymore to run electric heaters. 

 

We have a website and a Facebook page and we post on Next door. Soon, we
hope to have the sign out front set up to be able to post meeting notices.  

 

Please think about how you want the building to be used in the future and
how you can become a part of it. We need you.
